| Notes
on the 3rd Nights Treaty of Kanagawa 1854 (1A.M.) The U. S. navy, under Commodore Perry essentially bullied Japan into ending sakoku. The Treaty of Kanagawa, signed in March, 1854, gave the U.S. right of access to the ports Hakodate and Shimoda, and empowered it to establish a consolidate in Shimoda in 1855 [more about the latter condition later. See Harootunian, "America's Japan/Japan's Japan" Treaty signed between US Commodore Perry and Roju Abe Masahiro of Edo shogunate in March 1854 at Kanagawa near Tokyo. It forced Japan to give up 200 year old national seclusion policy (Sakoku). The main provisions are the opening of 2 harbors, Hakodate and Shimoda, for American ships and an establishment of US consulate in the latter town. Kanagawa being now completely absorbed by Yokoham City, you can call it "Treaty of Yokohama". Civil War erupted in many battles with various leaders through-out Japan. 1860, Mar 24 (7:30A.M.) Ii Naosuke was assassinated by former Mito samurai May 17 The first Japanese embassy to the United States exchanged commercial treaty ratifications in Washington. Meiji Restoration 1868 (5PM) Loyalists to the Tokugawa shogunate protested the lifting of Sakoku. Battles ensued, but in January 1868 the Tokugawa regimes was brought down. The Emperor was "restored" to power and placed in a new capital, Edo, renamed Tokyo. Sainen Rebellion (1877) Rebellion led by one of the proponents of the Meiji Restoration, Saigo Takamori, who had earlier campaigned for the colonization of Korea. Takamori committed suicide when Rebellion failed. The events leading to this moment are the subject of The Last Samurai movie. In Other 3rd Night News 1854, the Underground Railroad was transporting slaves from the South to safety in the North, the Gold Rush in California was still rushing and a cholera pandemic had gripped the nation. It was at this time that the Crimean war began and ran for two years. War for “Bleeding Kansas.” The opening of Kansas to settlement under the Douglas doctrine of popular sovereignty precipitated a mad scramble for control between proslavery and free-soil elements. In April 1854 the New England Emigrant Aid Society was formed to colonize free-soilers in Kansas. This aroused the proslavery people. Border ruffians from Missouri interfered in elections in Kansas. A proslavery element attacked the town of Lawrence, and in return John Brown (1800–59) staged the massacre at Pottawatomie Creek (May 24, 1856). The Lecompton constitution was formed by proslavery forces, but was denounced by Douglas as a fraud upon the people of Kansas and a violation of the popular sovereignty doctrine. This led to a break between Douglas and James Buchanan. 1857 Marked the beginning of the laying of the transatlantic cable and at this time the Dread Scott decision was made that stated, “black” persons cannot be US citizens.

So there are my notes on the 3rd Nights. It is hoped that others who have an interest will pick up this ball and start to bounce it. There is so much to research of world history that frankly, I need the help. In any area you may be interested, let's go ahead and dig up what has happened on this planet in each hour of the Planetary Cycle so that we may apply that insight to predicting events not only during the 3rd Night but for the 4th Day/Night, 5th Day/Night and so on. The dates of all of the beginnings of the days and nights will be displayed on our web page at the learning center. It is important when doing the research to understand that these are natural cycles, not a mathematically timed sequence of impetus and events. Mother nature and creation are more elastic then a Time clock can be. So you should expect slight deviations in the timing of events coming to pass. Do not think of this as a crystal ball but recognize it as a roadmap of time and event. You may not know exactly when you will arrive at your destination or a landmark but with a map you know where you're going and approximately how long it will take to get there. Let the adventure begin! And thank you for your time and attention. I know they are precious. In
